AFAIK stock/OEM spring seats will work fine. I don't think there are many choices for aftermarket spring seats. If they were needed then the companies would be producing them.

 

I'll just order them from the honda dealer, thanks for the input i wasnt really sure what kind of seats to use. Any idea how much they cost? Each?

Is there a reason you don't have stock springs in your cyl. head now?

Ya i guess there is.

 

Sorry, I meant stock spring seats.

 

Ever since my little broken valve spring incident. I didnt think that the seats would be in this bad of a shape, they were completely grinded down, thats why im asking.

 

If the seats were ground down, that meant the material of the springs were too hard. On stock Honda cyl. heads the retainer dig's into the spring meaning the the retainer is harder than the stock springs.

 

Really i never knew that, well i figured id go with new seats just to start off fresh, Whats your input?

 

The answer is obvious, get some spring seats. They are probably like $2.50 a piece. Not to bad.

 

Thats exactly what im gonna do. Can you PM me your address so you can take a look at these valve springs. I lost it somewhere

 

PM sent.
